NEWS : AGA Fusion Wood Pellet Stove Performance Statistics

The AGA is a very small compact pellet stove design, though still contains all the automated features to provide automatic heat control to the desired temperature. The promotion material for the AGA stove states the stove can use biomass wood pellets produced from waste wood and short rotation brush wood. Examples of short rotation brush wood are coppiced willow. This type of pellet fuel will produce more ash than premium grade wood pellets, therefore indicating the stove has the ability to handle higher ash fuel pellets. The stove has the expected features to enable automatic start up, with hot air ignition. The heat output of the stove varies from 4Kw up to 13Kw, which is pretty impressive for the size of the stove. The Fusion has a built in digital thermostat which will monitor the room temperature and temperature of the stove to regulate the room temperature to the desired level. An option remote is also available.

What Makes Some Stoves Deal With High Ash Where Others Fail?

The AGA Fusion is quite a capable little stove, it also has an efficiency rating of over 90%. This is impressive, as it is far beyond the industry average, and will keep fuel consumption to an absolute minimum. The AGA can run on as little as 1Kg of fuel pellets per hour, compare this to a log stove of a similar rated heat output and you would be loading in quite a few logs, far more than 1Kg. This is where pellets have the advantage, even though they are more expensive than cord wood, you use less comparable weight of fuel, which makes the costing much more comparable. As stated the AGA can use lower grade wood pellets and possibly other forms of biomass pellets. How come this is not the case for all pellet stoves, and some can only use premium grade pellets? Well the problem is some pellet stoves only use the combustion fan to remove ash from the burn pot. As the fan speed remains constant, only a constant small amount of ash can be removed, hence only premium low ash pellet fuel can be used. Pellet stoves such as the Fusion have better burn pot designs to remove ash.

How Buying A Better Pellet Stove Can Help Bring Economic Recovery

If you purchase a pellet stove which can handle higher ash content pellet fuels this opens up a whole new world of local pellet fuel possibilities. Local agricultural, energy crop and waste wood resources could be processed locally into fuel pellets which would develop a very large number of new local long term jobs. For example local waste from food crops can be turned into agri-pellets and local tree surgeons produce large quantities of wood waste which still in many cases gets sent to landfill. Therefore we can use local waste and also create jobs and cheap fuel. Its a win win scenario for everyone involved.
